It's a CBA thing that increases underpaid rookie contract guys who are starters, mostly important for later round picks. Play enough snaps and you get an automatic pre-calculated raise.

Volson played 55%+ of the offensive snaps in each of his first 3 years but didn't make a Pro Bowl so he's a category 2. His base salary becomes the right-of-first-refusal tender ($3.26m in 2025) + $250k.... there's your $3.5m.

It's basically a thing to make it so being a later round pick that ends up playing a decent or large amount of snaps doesn't pay significantly less in their 4th year than a UDFA in their 4th year getting tendered as a RFA.

Thanks for the update. I knew they have escalators, but always thought it was money paid out of the league pool.

At 3.5 million, good chance he gets cut after the draft. This may have put him out of job in the NFL. The 55% number is very low in my opinion, to me it should be based on the position played. WR's for example the 55% number fair. Not so much for OG's who can be injured for 45% of the snaps and get a raise.
